Ann - Wise Learn to Read

In Ann, 5th reader, the digraph “an” is introduced.  The child becomes aware, as in the previous reader Ed, that many new words can be created by placing a consonant in front of a digraph.  It also helps the child to recognize the digraph or trigraph following the consonant. The child begins to recognize if a word begins with one or two consonants, if it has one or two vowels, or if it has a silent letter. After the child sees and hears a word two or three times, that word becomes recognizable for most children.
